Glider Reachability Map Forecast for 17 Mar 0000Z to 19 Mar 0000Z 2024, Issued 17 Mar 2024

The black contours shown are reachability front forecasts, at 12 hour intervals (0hr to 48hr forecasts, with increasing line thickness for later times). The reachability front is the boundary of the largest set (the reachable set) that the glider can reach within that duration. It is computed by numerically solving our exact governing PDE for this time-optimal reachability front.
